The bodies of Draftopia Daily News senior reporters Vidae, ImBrotherCain, Grizzlegom and BeerBaron were found over the weekend following their disappearance last week.

The foursome was renown for their groundbreaking stories which often exposed corruption and scandal within major corporations and the government.

Rumors were abound that, just before their disappearance, they had stumbled onto a massive corruption scandal within the Draftopia Daily News. Foul play has long been suspected in their disappearance.

Firm evidence against the DDN is severely lacking in the case, and many are afraid to step forth against such a powerful media juggernaut with any evidence they may have.

Regardless, the DDN has recently hired a batch of new employees. Will these new employees tote the company line or will they too set out to expose the corruption and scandal that their predecessors fought so hard to uncover?

- THERE IS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BREAKING ANY OF THESE RULES. DO NOT DO IT. Mod kills and future bans from our games will be the result for you.

- Vidae and Cain will be the primary moderators. Please send them BOTH all night actions unless told otherwise. BeerBaron and Grizz will assist when needed.

- DO NOT CONTACT EACH OTHER BY MEANS OUTSIDE OF THE GAME OR SANCTIONED CHATS. We will lock the discussion thread if need be and will mod-kill if need be. Plus, if you enjoy playing in these games, remember that the 4 people running it are some of the most prolific modders around. DON’T PISS US OFF OR YOU’LL BE BLACKBALLED FROM FUTURE GAMES.

- DO NOT ROLE REVEAL UNNECESSARILY. It is in violation of the spirit of the game and can ruin it very quickly. If we feel that is getting out of hand with unnecessary demands or reveals, we will take drastic steps to curb it. You have been warned. SEE RULE ADJUSTMENT

- No “if I’m evil, I’ll never play again” bull ****. No sig bets. Nothing of that type will be allowed. These violate the spirit of the game and will not be tolerated.

- All lynch and unlynch votes must be in bold. You must unlynch before changing your vote.

- Refrain from editing your posts.

- Soft cap of 24 hour Day-limits. If we can see that you are making progress, we’re willing to expand that. If things seem stuck, something drastic will happen to move us along.

Beer Danger Baron, born June 11th 1988, was killed in his home on July 7th in a suspected break in gone bad. Police still have no suspects, but it appears that Beer was able to fight off the intruder for a while with a combination of his .454 Casull revolver, mixed martial arts and pen knife. He was finally shot several times by small arms fire and was found at the bottom of his stairwell, having drug himself there after the attack. His computer was wiped of all his recent work exposing corruption in the city.

Beer was known as a hardline liberal commentator on society and has won several awards for his work with the Draftopia Daily News. He was also very active in the ACLU and a strong proponent of both universal health care and free college education. He was one of the early pioneers of online journalism and was a prolific blogger in his free time. Despite the quality of his work, he was suspended repeatedly by the DDN for articles that failed to tote the company line. When they refused to publish one of his stories, he would publish them in a separate liberal journal online under the guise "Henry T. Wadsworth." He was also know for regularly appearing on Conservative talk shows as a counter point. He is survived by his 4 ex-wives 14 children, several mistresses and an unknown number of illegitimate children.

Vidae V. Vidaeus 1982-2012

Vidae V. Vidaeus, born May 21st, 1982, was found dead in his studio apartment of an apparent poisoning on July 7th. A potent mixture of cyanide and arsenic that was found in his hair, skin and clothes has been ruled the cause of death. All of his recent work files were wiped clean from his home and office computers leading to suspected foul play. The police, however, have no leads.

Vidae was a 5 sport star athlete at Draftopia high, and was considered a prime pro prospect in fencing, water polo, chess and rochambeau at Draftopia University. A severe hand injury, reportedly from a night of intense masturbation (though never proven) caused him to miss out on a pro sports career. He took up a position with the Draftopia Daily News, mostly as a sports reporter, but evolved into more general news when it was revealed that all of the Draftopia professional sports teams were using performance enhancing drugs. (The DDN owned teams are still fighting the chargers in court to retain their 14 titles and undefeated seasons.) Vidae is survived by his overbearing elderly mother.

ImBrotherCain 1988-2012

ImBrotherCain, writer for the DDN was killed in a savage beating near his home July 7th 2012. Cain was known as real life Cupid as his love advice column seemed to work wonders evidenced by his good friend Beer "Danger" Baron. ImBrotherCain was known as a lover of the outdoors and its wildlife. During his time away from the paper he was often seen tending to his flock of sheep. BrotherCain is survived by is Parents ImFatherAdam and ImMotherEve, his brother ImBrotherAbel, his flock and one special dog Nyx. Foul play is believed to be involve in his death, as his computer was wiped of his recent work and each of his collection of thumb drives was found crushed and burnt in the street near his home.

ImBrotherCain was found savagely beaten near the fenced in pen where his flock was grazing. The Draftopia police have suspected BrotherCain's brother ImBrotherAbel of committing fratricide. He is needed for questioning and has gone missing shortly after ImBrotherCain's murder.

Please direct any leads to the Draftopia Police.

Grizzle Bear Gom 1987-2012

Grizzle Bear Gom, born March 5, 1987, was found dead on July 7th, 2012 in the DDN office. Grizzle was best known for his secretive, long work hours which resulted in masterful pieces outing the corruption that plagues our city. He was apparently working late, per usual, on a story when he was attacked at his desk. After a short struggle, it appears Grizzle was eventually impaled through the eye by a sharp memo holder sitting on his desk. His employers also note that his most recent work was wiped clean from his hard drive and all relevant paper files related to it have gone missing. Grizzle is survived by his wife of five years, Panda, and two sons, Brown and Black.

Is no lynch an option in this game? I'm not usually a proponent of the no lynch but it's always good to know our options.

Based on the initial writeup, each was killed in a different fashion (shot, poisoned, beaten, and stabbed). I hope that isn't an indication that there are four different killing factions lurking out there.

assuming we have a tracker/Watcher/cop. Come out now. BUT dont specify what you are. Dont specify if you are a tracker, a watcher or a cop. Just tell us you have investigative powers. Assuming we have a doctor he will survive day 1.

Now why come out?

Im hoping we can keep mafia on its feet. You will specify your target before going to night. Why would you do that do you say?

A number of reasons: Mafia dont know how to handle your move. If they frame or kill that person but you are a tracker, you will see it. On the other hand if they dont target him, and you are a cop, you get tampered free information, same with tracking someone. Mafia will have to decide if they are willing to waste their abilities or give you untampered information.

Based on the initial writeup, each was killed in a different fashion (shot, poisoned, beaten, and stabbed). I hope that isn't an indication that there are four different killing factions lurking out there.

I'm not sure about the number of factions but I thought the same, that there are probably 4 separate killers on the loose.

Well we can't role reveal, so we'd have to be careful not to get modkilled. But it is an interesting tactic.

Two mafia, serial killer, and vigilante? Or I could just be reading too much into it.
